(-)-Trans-Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol-Like Discriminative-Stimulus Effects of Gabapentin in Cannabis Users.
A recent study by Dr. Joshua Lile and his colleagues demonstrated the capability of gabapentin to produce marijuana-like effects in humans. The finding is unexpected since the primary binding site of gabapentin is not thought to be any of the cannabinoid receptor subtypes. Gabapentin (Neurontin®) (Figure 1) is an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of epilepsy and neuropathic pain and sev...
متن کاملSimultaneous inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase and monoacylglycerol lipase shares discriminative stimulus effects with Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol in mice.
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitors exert preclinical effects indicative of therapeutic potential (i.e., analgesia). However, the extent to which MAGL and FAAH inhibitors produce unwanted effects remains unclear. Here, FAAH and MAGL inhibition was examined separately and together in a Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ(9)-THC; 5.6 mg/kg i.p.) discrimination...
متن کاملDefault Mode Network in the Effects of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on Human Executive Function
Evidence is increasing for involvement of the endocannabinoid system in cognitive functions including attention and executive function, as well as in psychiatric disorders characterized by cognitive deficits, such as schizophrenia. Executive function appears to be associated with both modulation of active networks and inhibition of activity in the default mode network. In the present study, we ...
متن کاملMydriasis induced by tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in rats.
Male albino rats, injected intravenously or intracerebroventricularly with delta 1-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), develop mudriasis. The median effective dose of the intravenous administration group was 5 mg/kg THC, whereas that for the intracerebroventricular route was 150 microgram/kg THC. Sympathectomy significantly decreased the THC-induced mydriasis. The mydriatic effect was not influenced by...
متن کاملHigh-throughput toxicological analysis of Δ9-THC and 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-THC by LC/MS/MS
A new high-throughput liquid chromatography / tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in suspect plant material and of its principal metabolite, 11-nor-9carboxy-Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH), in human urine was developed and validated. The separation was performed on a Zorbax SB-C18 column under isocratic conditions using a mixture o...
